2026 Municipal Budget

Each year the Town of Creston creates a budget (Five-Year Financial Plan) laying out how the Town will allocate its resources to achieve Council's identified strategic goals in a fiscally responsible manner.

It is important that the community is involved in the development of this document. Meaningful public involvement can assist Council in better understanding the programs and services residents value most.

The budget process involves balancing municipal income each year with planned expenditures related to service delivery. The budgeting process starts every Fall for the upcoming year and must be adopted by Council no later than May 15th of the budget year.
